Shredded Chicken with Chili Oil and Cucumber

This refreshing yet spicy dish brings together the perfect balance of tender, poached chicken, crisp cucumber, and a numbing, aromatic chili oil for a satisfying, light appetizer or side. The shredded chicken is gently pulled to reveal its juicy, tender texture, then dressed in a rich chili oil infused with Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and chili flakes — creating a delightful tingling sensation on your tongue.

The cool cucumber provides a crunchy, refreshing contrast, while the crushed peanuts add a nutty crunch that complements the richness of the chicken and chili oil. This dish is both spicy and cooling, a perfect blend of heat and freshness, ideal for those who love bold flavors and unique textures.
